Whats the chance of having strep throat after just getting over influenza? can i stop it early if i do have it? (18yrold) took tamiflu75mg, 5 daysm

Strep: It is entirely possible to have strep throat after the flu. One does not exclude the other. I recommend consulting with your doctor to see if you actually do have strep throat. If you do, it will require antibiotic in order to resolve.
